In the absence of SWWLTBO (who is at her Mother's today) I have, acting on the boys' instructions, purchased flowers and cards for them to give her.
Tomorrow I will, no doubt, have to get them up and prepare for her a breakfast they can take to her in bed. I shall then spend the rest of the day ensuring she enjoys their company. They have also asked that I prepare a special dinner for her. The THW will, of course expect me to have got flowers and a card for her to give her mother, I am not so much of a b@st@rd as to have not done so as I know she will have done and will do nothing to help. I shall smile brightly and kindly throughout.
At some time during the day, like many others here, I shall take a few minutes alone to reflect upon my own late mother.
Frankly I fvcking hate Mothers Day.
